Stephanie Vaquer, Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan Segment 

Stephanie Vaquer: Hola, WWE Universe. Tonight, I’m here only one reason, my title. I don’t want to talk. And everyone here knows, wrestling is my first language. So, Liv Morgan, come out here with my title, and fight me, puta.

– Liv Morgan appears flanked by The Judgment Day.

Liv Morgan: Well, Stephanie, you may not feel like talking a lot today, and I typically don’t feel the need to address accusations against me, but I have a lot on my mind. First, Becky likes to claim that me having this championship negates all the hard work of the women that held it before me. Do you know what I think about that? I don’t care. I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t. I don’t care about the women that came before me. I don’t care about the women that are going to be here after me, because I’m not a champion for those women, and I’m certainly not a champion for any of you people. I am a champion for myself. And then that brings me to you, Stephanie. You think that I’m scared of you? Stephanie, you know I’m the one that beat you at WrestleMania, right? And then I beat you so badly, the week after, that you spent the last three months at home watching my pretty little face from your TV set, and I know that made you sick. All that matters is that I’m champion. And as long as I’m here, you and Becky never will be. But don’t you think that’s a little bit funny, Stephanie, that that’s the way this universe works. The girl that you and Becky try to berate on a weekly basis is well on her way to becoming the longest, reigning Women’s World Champion Of All-Time.

Stephanie Vaquer: Liv, Liv, Liv. If you’re not scared, why are you all the way over there? Come here and start running and get into this ring.

Liv Morgan: You’re gonna regret this.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with The Vision. Where does The Vision stand this week after beating down Akira Tozawa, and tension continuing to rise between Bron Breakker and Oba Femi? Logan Paul says that last week was all about showing that they run this place. And nobody that wants to step up will get put down.

Bron Breakker: Come on, Big Boy, I know you’re back there, Oba. You want to be the future of this place, come take it from me, right now. Let’s go, come on.

Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. I was an advocate, I am an oracle, and more than that, I am a Wiseman. I know things that are wise to do, I know things that are unwise to do. Here’s something that I know, it’s very wise for us to all figure out the question that is on every single person’s mind. And that question is, Who Is The Future Of WWE?

Bron Breakker: How about you tell me, Paul? How about you tell me who you think is going to be the future of WWE?

– Oba Femi makes his way down to the ring.

Oba Femi: Here you are, Bron, asking stupid questions. Who is the future, Paul? You already know who the future is. You know it, I know it, they know it. And you want to know who else knew exactly who the future was? Brock Lesnar knows who the future is, because the future is Oba Femi. And if you have with the answer, you can take it up with me, anywhere, any time.

Bron Breakker: Well, how about right here, right now?

Paul Heyman: You take one more step towards Oba Femi, you take a permanent step away from me. What am I doing? This is a publicly traded company. This is the biggest promotion on the face of the planet. We don’t just answer to the people live and the people at home, we answer to shareholders. Now, this will not be a popular thing for me to say in of all city, Buffalo, New York. Two of us in this ring seem to understand that right now, someone appears to be learning. Here’s what I know after 40 years in the business, when two main eventers are standing in the ring, you don’t do an impromptu match to decide who the future is. The future is someone who understands box office. The future is someone that understands main event. The future is someone that understands, we promote this match to be the biggest it can possibly be. So, I’ve already set it up with Adam Pearce. Sunday Night’s Main Event, September 6th, Atlanta, Georgia, your hometown, your home court advantage. Oba Femi versus Bron Breakker, and then we will find out who is truly the future of WWE.

Bron shakes hands with Paul Heyman and they walk out of the ring. Heyman says that’s good business to close this segment.
